A 23-year-old man suspected of going on an indecent assault spree – targeting eight girls and women in 13 hours – has been arrested by Hong Kong police.
The psychiatric hospital outpatient was detained last night after allegedly attacking his eighth victim, a 16-year-old girl, near private housing estate Whampoa Garden in Hung Hom.
Just half an hour before, he reportedly grabbed the breasts of three school girls, aged 13 to 15, in a fast food outlet on Tak Man Street, a police source told the SCMP.
He is also thought to have molested four women, aged 18 to 42, in the same area the night before.
The man, who is believed to live near to where the attacks took place, was being questioned by police but had not yet been charged last night.
